After futzing for a couple of months with my k-jet mixtures, I have it all set now, apparently, by installing a later model Control Pressure Regulator, which required fabricating a new line from the CPR tto the Fuel Distributor that connected with 'banjo' fittings instead of the press-fit nylon hoses. Fromteh FI manuals, apparently all CPRs have very similar pressure curves, and could very well be interchangeable. I want one of the vacuum enrichment ones, now.
The parts were 8, 10, and 12 mm Parker barbed banjo fittings and 3/8 and 1/4 hp hose, which I got from local hydraulic hose and parts house. I'll find and post the part numbers, if anyone's interested.
I also changed the line from the fuel filter to the Fuel Dist, replacing the filter end with a 12 mm banjo fitting pressed into a 3/8 hose, so I can use the 240 fuel filters instead of the 140, which are hard to find. I teed off from the 3/8 to a 5/16 for the cold start injector using brass barbed hose parts I got at Ace Hardware. That was the lucky find. Apparently 5/16 high pressure is unique to automotive, the hydraulics guy explained that they calculated everything down to fractions of a cent of cost.
I got a hood fulla pipe now, compared to the little lines before.
